A bungling Iranian bomber blew off his own legs when he hurled a grenade at Thai police outside a Bangkok school - which bounced off a tree and then exploded at his feet. It came after he had blown up his own home and then hurled a grenade at a taxi driver who would not accept him as a passenger, the Bangkok Post reports.

Police allegedly found an Iranian ID card in a satchel close to the blast in the Thai capital, and unconfirmed reports suggest he is called Saeid Moradi. Four people, three men and one woman, were injured in the explosions which come the day after Israeli diplomats were targeted in simultaneous car bombings, also believed to have been carried out by Iran. It is not yet known if yesterday's and today's attacks are linked - but Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said: 'We can't rule out any possibility.'

When asked to comment, legendary Hollywood film star Wiley E. Coyote had this to say: "Been there."

Bounced off a tree and landed at his feet? That has happened to me on the golf course. Never with a hand grenade, tho.

It is important for one to put one’s best foot forward lest one place one’s foot in one’s mouth.

Joe Biden was quoted as saying: "Stand up, Saeid!"

Look at the bright side, Saeid: it'll be easier to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Somehow I think State Farm Insurance will view his insurance claim in a less than positive vein.
